The two would work together for the next thirty years, long after the excavation was complete (1905).

She was in the first production of <i>Frou Frou</i> in the United States. The Augustin Daly stock company staged it at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, in 1870. Ethel appeared in <i>Fernande</i>, also at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, again in 1870. A critic wrote that her acting was her best thus far. In September 1872 Ethel appeared in <i>Agnes</i>, presented by the Union Square Theatre. The play was written especially for her by Victorien Sardou. It ran for one hundred nights.<br />In 1873 Ethel married Francis W. Tracy, a millionaire, and retired from the stage. She took part in charities and assisted struggling actors and actresses. She performed only twice more on stage, appearing on both occasions in support of charity. <br />When Tracy died in 1886, she was involved in a dispute about his will with Tracy's first wife, but eventually Ethel was awarded the entire fortune. <br /><br />- "<i>Daly’s biographer described Ethel as “a slender figure, candid eyes, flowing auburn hair, an oval face</i>..." <a href="https://cabinetcardgallery.com/2009/02/09/agnes-ethel-broadway-stage-actress/">https://cabinetcardgallery.com/2009/02/09/agnes-ethel-broadway-stage-actress/</a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzaF_MJ6cd3D1Ik-qS28TMBjwNHlRKaMNTmICVQStZIDxAyNg59GrSW_Pmgnc0Z5Q1p2WeMMyZOw9nT-YigzMQGVnOl0kcXU3-1bhKrnHLV1KeX_qhaEl4GN2FJshkj-xmZ9wd-_f1tX2RyDwSryJe5i1L90cM-A56cXUB1jY3iKumP7tfZJsuvmhme803/s2032/f0d14f3d99d868189d48184a75cf1efb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2032" data-original-width="1324" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzaF_MJ6cd3D1Ik-qS28TMBjwNHlRKaMNTmICVQStZIDxAyNg59GrSW_Pmgnc0Z5Q1p2WeMMyZOw9nT-YigzMQGVnOl0kcXU3-1bhKrnHLV1KeX_qhaEl4GN2FJshkj-xmZ9wd-_f1tX2RyDwSryJe5i1L90cM-A56cXUB1jY3iKumP7tfZJsuvmhme803/s320/f0d14f3d99d868189d48184a75cf1efb.jpg" width="209" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Emanuelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13394082619228063995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924556627458100102.post-82808913119128939382023-09-17T06:16:00.002-07:002023-09-17T06:16:43.011-07:001609) William Lucking<p>William Lucking (1941 – 2021).

American actress of the screen and stage, as well as a director and writer. Dorothy and her older sister Lillian Gish were major movie stars of the silent era. Dorothy Gish was noted as a fine comedian, and many of her films were comedies.<br />In 1912, their childhood friend, actress Mary Pickford, introduced the sisters to director D. W. Griffith, and they began performing as extras at the Biograph Studios in New York. Dorothy and her sister debuted in Griffith's 1912 production <i>An Unseen Enemy</i>. She would ultimately perform in over 100 short films and features, many times with Lillian. <br />From 1930 (the beginning of talking pictures) until her death, she only performed in five more movies. Her final film role was in 1963 in the Otto Preminger production, <i>The Cardinal</i>, in which she plays the mother of the title character.<br />Television in the 1950s, however, offered many stage and film actors the opportunity to perform in plays broadcast live. Dorothy ventured into the new medium, appearing on NBC's Lux Video Theatre on the evening of November 24, 1955, in a production of <i>Miss Susie Slagle's</i>.<br />In 1920, Dorothy Gish married James Malachi Rennie (1890–1965), a Canadian-born actor who co-starred with her in two productions in that same year. Gish and Rennie remained together until their divorce in 1935. Dorothy never married again.</p><p><br />- "<i>Lillian, a fair, sedate little lass, was delighted when Dorothy arrived—fat, rosy, red-haired—full of fun and mischief, almost from the beginning...

American film actress whose career spanned over 50 years.<br />Marsh worked as a salesgirl and loitered around the Hollywood sets and locations while her older sister Marguerite worked on a film, observing the progress of her sister’s performance. She first started as an extra in various movies, and played her first substantial role in the film <i>Ramona</i> (1910) at the age of 15.<br />She then worked with Mack Sennett and D. W. Griffith, sometimes appearing in eight movies per year and often paired with fellow Sennett protégé Robert Harron in romantic roles, such as <i>The Birth of a Nation</i> (1915) and <i>Intolerance</i> (1916). <br />March signed a lucrative contract with Samuel Goldwyn after Intolerance, but none of the films she made with him were particularly successful. After her marriage to Lee Arms, a publicity agent for Goldwyn, in 1918, her film output decreased to about one per year.<br />Marsh returned from retirement to appear in sound films and played a role in Henry King’s remake of <i>Over the Hill </i>(1931). She gravitated toward character roles, and worked in this manner for the next several decades. Marsh appeared in numerous popular films, such as <i>Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm</i> (1932) and <i>Little Man, What Now?</i> (1934). She also became a favorite of director John Ford, appearing in <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i> (1940), <i>How Green Was My Valley</i> (1941), <i>3 Godfathers</i> (1948), and <i>The Searchers</i> (1956).</p><p><br />- "<i>The petite, auburn-haired, blue-eyed actress appeared in several films before being cast as Flora</i>." <a href="https://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/mae-marsh/index.html" target="_blank">https://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/mae-marsh/index.html</a></p><p><br />- "... <i>making a complete contrast to the brilliant shock of Mae Marsh’s red hair and the golflen blonde of Lillian Gish</i>." <a href="https://virginiachronicle.com/?a=d&d=NEL19160101.1.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN--------" target="_blank">https://virginiachronicle.com/?a=d&d=NEL19160101.1.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN--------</a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvhyR7OnxykI0qi6Fg9iaxlnGw3b2By9ad10UcA040drQPK6HBXDlpLgPwWySte41a_q41kp3slKgWrhy_j_zISPuhfnMNzBFSvutbZZo1RSUGSKbL8tG4E9o6X2UXOVR23G6TlYTeXZxgAx9fOHHtKTNj-y7ldNfHXlR4wd2d_dIX8l6-rAHW0LUtq4IA/s750/5omXOspGRnKcNUyBQJmO7oTLnaB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvhyR7OnxykI0qi6Fg9iaxlnGw3b2By9ad10UcA040drQPK6HBXDlpLgPwWySte41a_q41kp3slKgWrhy_j_zISPuhfnMNzBFSvutbZZo1RSUGSKbL8tG4E9o6X2UXOVR23G6TlYTeXZxgAx9fOHHtKTNj-y7ldNfHXlR4wd2d_dIX8l6-rAHW0LUtq4IA/s320/5omXOspGRnKcNUyBQJmO7oTLnaB.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Emanuelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13394082619228063995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924556627458100102.post-21987883010928419072023-09-16T05:56:00.002-07:002023-09-16T06:50:26.085-07:001606) Hope Hampton<p>Hope Hampton (Mae Elizabeth Hampton; 1897 – 1982).

The latter half of the 1940s saw Hobson in perhaps her two most memorable roles: as the adult Estella in David Lean's adaptation of <i>Great Expectations</i> (1946), and as the refined and virtuous Edith D'Ascoyne in the black comedy <i>Kind Hearts and Coronets</i> (1949).<br />Hobson's last starring role was in the original London production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical play <i>The King and I</i>, which opened at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on 8 October 1953.
